In St. Louis now, I've 5,850 on speedo, 4,800 miles since I started in Nova Scotia (19th may), had it serviced twice now over here , will do prob another 4,000 here b4 end of next month,so the bikes coping fine,fingers crossed & im always looking around it ,filled it up with diesel once , but never started yet,yep school boy error , but the colour of the pumps is other way round,green is diesel, black is petrol,but also u can have brown & green for petrol to in some garages, had to remove tank & empty in to containers,so can't be doing all that again,bike is really fully loaded with my son on the back now,& we are just getting on with it,done 230 today yep he,s moaning bout a sore backside, I've done bout 330 on me own & it was manageable ,fingers no longer numb after Dave cootes kindly fitted bar risers, (free )& bike service to I may with Richard & Peter howes ,which have helped a great deal.
Had no oil in air box or bottle issues, thought I would of suffered more cosmetic probs, but just twisted a couple of indicators ,a back one cause I had too much stuff in a panier,& a front one from tank bag slipping of bars when I refuelled ,I been oiling chain,wiping it down to.
I'm sure an adventure bike would be more practical ,but bought the bike to ride it.
